Families in Worrigee have had a first look at their new public primary school and preschool, with the Minns Labor Government releasing designs as planning progresses.
The new public primary school will ensure families in the rapidly developing suburbs of Worrigee and South Nowra can access a world-class public education close to home.
The primary school will have 24 modern classrooms, three support learning classrooms, a multipurpose hall with a covered outdoor learning area (COLA), library and special programs rooms, a sports field and multipurpose sports court.
The co-located preschool will have capacity for up to 120 children every week, ensuring the community will have access to high-quality early education.
The new Worrigee public preschool is scheduled to open in 2027, while the new primary school is set to welcome students in 2028. The planning application for the public preschool is currently open via the NSW Planning Portal.
The new school and preschool will cater for local families amid significant growth in South Nowra, which has seen a 150 per cent increase in new dwellings over the past decade.
The new public school at Worrigee will alleviate pressure on Nowra Public School and Nowra East Public School while also easing traffic in the broader area by reducing the number of students and parents having to travel across suburbs.
